FanDuel Price: $3,900
The Los Angeles Angels are throwing righty Daniel Wright to the wolves tonight. In 18 big-league innings, Wright owns a 9.1% strikeout rate, which is backed up by a lowly 6.0% swinging-strike rate, and he's allowing a massive 45.3% hard-hit rate.
He'd be in a tough spot against any lineup, but he's dead to rights versus the Toronto Blue Jays.
With a 5.02 implied total, a lot of Jays are in play tonight, but Edwin Encarnacion is at the apex of the list as our top-ranked hitter.
Obviously, an 18-inning sample size isn't much, but Wright is giving up a .466 wOBA, 38.7% hard-hit rate, and 46.7% fly-ball rate to right-handed hitters. Encarnacion has reverse splits, posting a .379 wOBA with a 38.0% hard-hit rate and 42.1% fly-ball rate this year against righties. Overall, he's put up a 40.6% hard-hit rate and .373 wOBA in the second half.
